In the short run, the 4 will cost less. In the long run, the 6 will cost less. In both short and long run, the 6 will increase the value, and last a lot longer than the 4 with equal amounts of power. To do a six right, taking your time and collecting conversion parts, and a used but good 2.7L six, should run you about $6000 for everything.

The FI will only work with a stock cam. I imagine that the larger bore changes a few more things.

Regardless, the Type 4 was a simple work horse motor. The six is a performance motor.
